Useful contextEnergy suppliers usually need account number, meter readings, bill dates, tariff details and a clear timeline of previous contact.
Avoid this mistakeDo not just say the bill is wrong. Identify the reading, tariff, period or direct-debit change you dispute.

How to structure a energy complaint letter

Start with a concise summary of what happened, then set out the key dates, references and evidence. Keep the tone calm and factual. A business can respond more easily when the letter separates the problem, the impact and the outcome requested.

Energy complaints may need a clear eight-week timeline before escalation to the Energy Ombudsman.

ClearComplaint uses this sector context to guide the letter structure, but you should always review and edit the final wording before sending it.
